[01] Tsipras addresses SYN committee
In his address, Tsipras said that "the world economic crisis, the
bankruptcy of capitalism is not an aspect of the expectation of certain
leftist and Marxist economists, but constitutes a reality, regardless
of the interpretation one gives and it is admitted by all that the
model of the 'divine' model of the market is going bankrupt and the
hegemony of neo-liberalism is being disputed."
The Synapismos leader referred to the governmentâs policy and
criticized Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis because "Mr. Karamanlis,
directing himself to the European bankers, assured that the reforms,
that is, the handing over of the infrastructures and of public wealth
to private interests, will continue. And that the governmentâs
objective are labour relations and the safeguarding of the unbridled
profiteering of banks and of major enterprises."
Tsipras charged that the prime minister "is pretending he is not
hearing."
He also accused Karamanlis for the high cost of living in Greece.
